element has two halves: a browser extension, and a small helper on your computer that hands picks to your agent.
open this on your computer
element runs on your mac or linux computer. open this link there:
elmts.dev/install
-
one click from the chrome web store. it works in any chromium browser: chrome, arc, brave, edge and the rest.
-
claude code, opencode, pi, codex, cursor, muse, or any agent that can run commands.
Set up element (elmts.dev) on this computer for me. Read the steps with
curl -fsSL https://elmts.dev/install.mdand follow them.it installs the helper, asks which agents you use (pick any, or all; you can add more later), connects them, and tells you what to restart. read what it follows.
-
once your agent says you're set and you've restarted it, try both on the card below:
nothing happens? make sure you restarted your agent, and check the drawer (⌥⇧S → sessions) to see which agent gets your picks. more in troubleshooting.

in a terminal:
$npm i -g @elmts/cli && el installneeds node 18 or newer, on macos or linux. using arc, brave or edge?
el installsets those up too. -
$
el install --claudethen start claude code in your project. picks land in your prompt as
[element #1]chips.$el install --opencodethen restart opencode. picks land in your prompt as chips, with screenshots sent as images.
$el install --pithen restart pi. picks land in your prompt as chips.
$el install --codexthen restart codex. in tmux, iterm2, cmux, wezterm, herdr, zellij, screen, kitty, konsole or ghostty (macos), picks are typed into the prompt as chips; elsewhere they go with your next message.
$el install --cursorthen reload cursor windows and restart
cursor-agent. the editor adds picks to chat as file chips; cursor cli gets chips like codex.$el install --muselike codex: chips typed in tmux, iterm2, cmux, wezterm, herdr, zellij, screen, kitty, konsole or ghostty (macos), attached when you send.
something else? anything with a shell can run

element is live in this browser now. hold ⌥ and click anything on this page, like the card below, then ask your agent about it: "what did i pick?"
